However, it is no coincidence that in recent years, alongside the prolific rise of online channels and the popularity of digital devices, there is a growing trend for more affordable innovation in the UK action camera market. What is interesting is that the highest demand is not just from professional filmmakers, but anyone from holidaymakers to sports people, who want to get the clearest possible moving images of their activity.

The Polaroid dive rated waterproof underwater housing case is designed to bring digital cameras from Canon, Nikon, Olympus, Panasonic and Sony from land to sea. The perfect solution for adventurous photo enthusiasts, the Polaroid underwater camera case is made of high impact polycarbonate and can withstand water submersion up to 130 feet. It also offers protection from rain, snow or dusty and muddy environments for extraordinary images on any terrain and in any conditions.

This has come from a period of cameras being less out of the box ready, which has allowed accessory makers, such as Canadian-based Shape, to develop their own ergonomic and user friendly solutions. Shape produce a full range of accessories, from cages for the Atomos shogun, to shoulder mounts for DSLRs thru Sony F5/F55 and add-ons for the Sony FS7.

I am a travel photographer and urban film maker well known for the use of time-lapse and hyperlapse photography. My work has received international awards, widespread critical acclaim and millions of online views, writes Rob Whitworth.
